What is Coconut Endosperm and Endospermic Effect?

Coconut Endosperm (Cocos nucifera) is coconut water or the liquid reservoir of nutrients that nourishes the young coconut for a year of more of its life, delivering vital nutrients to sustain development of the solid endosperm (coconut meat) found inside the fruit. Endosperm is rich in proteins, amino acids, sugars, vitamins, minerals and growth factors and it plays a pivotal role in supporting tissue growth.

The important factor that keeps the coconut endosperm alive and growing into solid endosperm is the RNA (Ribonucleic Acid).

What is RNA?

RNA is described as ribonucleic acid, a nucleic acid present in all living cells. Its principal role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins, although in some viruses RNA rather than DNA carries the genetic information.

RNA plays an important role in amino acid transport and respiratory metabolism in living cells. RNA-phosphorus (RNA-P) content is found to be particularly high in young, green coconuts and coconut endosperm is harvested at an optimal stage of maturity to ensure a high content of RNA and growth factors, including shikimic acid, quinic acid and indole-3-acetic acid.

How does Covirco Organic Virgin Coconut Oil maintain the endospermic effect?

It is not easy to maintain the endospermic effect in virgin coconut oil so as to keep the oil essence alive with all the nutrients intact to support growth and respiratory metabolism in living cells.

We adopt the criteria of good laboratory technique to handle and to retain the intactness of RNA species during the isolation and purification procedure. The main concern in isolating highly pure and intact RNA is the exquisitely fragile nature of mRNA and miRNA and their susceptibility to degradation by RNAses during the isolation procedure.

To obtain a healthy endospermic effect in our organic virgin coconut oil, we buy only organic coconuts from a remote island in Sri Lanka and have the oil extraction done immediately after harvest in a certified organic GMP factory where strict organic protocols of oil extraction in spiral cold–pressed processes are monitored and complied according to international standards to obtain and maintain the maximum yield of vital nutrients into the oil.

A simple diagram illustrating Covirco VCO working in our body when consumed:

The Effects of Covirco VCO in the body:

1. Mouth & Esophagus: The Streptococcus mutans bacteria in your mouth and esophagus will be destroyed.
2. Stomach: Indigestible and toxic foods causing stomach disorders will be neutralized. Disease causing agents will be prevented from entering the blood cells. The organic VCO will balance the acidity of gastric juice in the stomach during food maturation.
3. Small Intestine: When you consume the oil on empty stomach, our organic VCO will readily be absorbed by the villus into the blood cells to provide food nutrients to support growth to living cells. If the organic VCO is consumed with other foods, then the oil will arrest pathogens to render them inactive and later purge into the large intestine as toxic waste. All food nutrients are carried via the hepatic portal vein to enable the liver to metabolize carbohydrate, lipids, and proteins into biologically useful materials.
4. Large Intestine: Covirco organic VCO combines with other unwanted waste serve as a fiber to promote a detoxification process of excess sludge oils and fats lodged along the walls of the intestine.
5. Liver: Covirco organic VCO is composed of mostly medium-chain fatty acids, which are transported directly to your liver to be used as energy. This kind of fat is ideal for a detox, since it can give you the energy you need when consuming less food. Our organic VCO oil is believed to help reduce cholesterol and blood sugar, as well as help eliminate parasitic and microbial infections.
   • The healthy nutrients in Covirco organic VCO strengthen the liver to improve functions such as:
     • Bile production and excretion
     • Excretion of bilirubin, cholesterol, hormones, and drugs
     • Metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates
     • Enzyme activation
     • Storage of glycogen, vitamins, and minerals
     • Synthesis of plasma proteins, such as albumin, and clotting factors
     • Blood detoxification and purification
6. Blood Circulatory System: Our organic VCO contains a large portion of these medium chain fatty acids – specifically lauric acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, and capric acid though it is also rich in gallic acid (responsible for the anti-inflammatory effect of virgin coconut oil which helps prevent cardiovascular disease by reducing the progression of atherosclerosis – or damage to your blood vessels) which is phenol compound that serves a potent and powerful antioxidant for living things.
   Our VCO can help reduce inflammation by helping to reduce the amount of LDL that becomes oxidized – or rancid. Oxidation of LDL cholesterol — which is one of the first steps in the formation of plaque in the arteries — can lead to the development of atherosclerosis, or cardiovascular disease.
   In addition to anti-inflammatory effects, our organic VCO may help to reduce the coagulation (or stickiness) of platelets in the blood which could lead to a blood clot.
   Covirco organic VCO helps to thin blood as it has Vitamin E that is fat-soluble and that it helps prevent the essential vitamin A and essential fatty acids from oxidation in the cells.
7. Hypothalamus Gland & Pituitary Gland: The hypothalamus and pituitary gland work together to control the entire endocrine system, the glands that produce many hormones of the body. This includes the adrenal glands, kidneys, and thyroid.
   The hypothalamus links the nervous and endocrine systems by way of the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary gland to release or inhibit pituitary hormone production. The hormones of the pituitary gland help regulate the functions of other endocrine glands such as the thyroid gland which in turn sends hormones to the stomach, intestines, pancreas, and liver to work synergistically in producing the correct proportions and concentrations of digestive juices during food digestion.
   In the synergy of hormones production in the endocrine system, the hypothalamus gland can be considered most important.
   Malnutrition is one of the causes of hypothalamic disease. You will safeguard the hypothalamus gland when you consume our organic VCO as the oil has sufficient nutrients to protect not only the hypothalamus gland but other body organs as well against malnutrition.
8. Thyroid Gland: Covirco organic VCO nourishes the thyroid gland with high healthy saturated fat, lauric acid, and medium chain fatty acids to unblock thyroid hormone secretion, hormones movement in the blood circulatory system and the hormones response in muscles and skin tissues. The VCO regulates the levels of estrogen in the body by improving the production of thyroid hormones.
   The thyroid gland stores and produces hormones that affect the function of virtually every organ in our bodies. Thyroid hormone (Triiodothyronine or T3) regulates our metabolic rate and is associated with modest changes in body weight and energy levels.
